‘Mean Girls: The Musical’ on BROADWAY finally has a production date!

Directed by Tina Fey (47), the musical comes 13 years after the original movie’s debut.

‘Mean Girls: The Musical’ officially debuts on Broadway April 8 2017 at the August Wilson Theater in NYC! Fey recently spoke with EW about the musical, saying: “I tried to remember to stay at the core humanity of it, which is the behavior that comes out of all of us sometimes out of jealousy or fear. The great thing about music is it lets you get in people’s heads and inside their emotional lives in a way that you can do with a tight close-up in movies, but it’s so much bigger and warmer [in a musical].” She continued: “I think fans will hopefully find that this has the DNA of the movie and is true of the spirit of it, but is also opened up in a lot of ways.”
